Which Costs You Less Money?

                           Initial Price in 2006                 Cost to Use First 2 Yrs.                Price After 2nd Yr.

Agitator Washer                $550                +                   $1,200                 =                  $1,750
Staber Washer                  $1199              +                     $500                   =                 $1,699

Based on average of 8 loads per week with average utility rates, detergent costs, and average maintenance compared to a traditional top load agitator washer. Different numbers can be shown based on your rates and usage.

If you know you will be using your washer for at least two years, it will cost you less money to invest in a Staber commercial washer—a decision that can provide you with a 30% annual return every year you own the washer.

Getting More For Your Money:  The Second Price Tag

When buying a clothes washer, it can be helpful to think of two price tags.  The first price tag is the price paid to purchase the washer.  The second price tag is the cost to operate the washer over its lifetime. Based on the above example, if you save an average of around $350 each year it is obvious which washer would cost you less money.

Compared to the Average Front Load Washer Design, Staber...

bullet

Has top loading convenience so you do not have to bend over to load/unload

bullet

Uses about half the water (around 12-16 gallons compared to 22-28 gallons), thus less energy to heat the hot water

bullet

Uses less detergent (1 ounce compared to 2-3 ounces), due to less water per fill and better agitation with our patented tub design. This represents the largest savings.

bullet

Has a quicker payback period due to using less resources  

bullet

Durable stainless steel inner and outer tubs, as opposed to a plastic outer tub  

bullet

You have immediate access to the inner tub while washing if you forgot to add a pair of socks, whereas a front loader is always locked

bullet

Patented tub design creates water pumping action to clean more effectively than just circular tubs

bullet

No front water seal (or rubber boot), eliminates future leaking problems and mildew

bullet

Two re-greasable bearings per shaft, supported on front and back, as opposed to just one bearing on the back of the tub which cannot be re-greased. This provides greater durability over time.

bullet

Total front access enables consumer to easily maintain and service washer

bullet

Save on maintenance costs

bullet

Staber is a more durable, commercial-grade washer as opposed to a standard domestic residential machine

How Does Staber Compare With the Traditional Top Load Agitator Washer You May Be Currently Using? 

bulletDo you want to use around 45 gallons of water per load or around 15 gallons of water?
bulletDo you want tubs made of durable stainless steel or tubs made of plastic or porcelain?
bulletDo you want to heat an average of 3 gallons of hot water or 12 gallons of hot water per load?
bulletAt an average of eight loads per week, do you want to spend around $600 each year to use your washer or just $260 with a Staber?
bulletDo you want to use 1 ounce of detergent per load with a Staber, or 4-8 ounces per load?
bulletWould you like to wash up to 16 full-size bath towels in one load, or just 8-10 towels with a traditional agitator washer?
bulletWould you like to reduce your drying time by about 30% (and save more energy) by using a Staber that features a much faster spin cycle?
bulletWould you like to have total front access to parts and no transmission to reduce your maintenance expenses?
bulletDo you want a standard residential domestic washer that will last an average of just 12 years or a commercial-grade washer for the home that will last 20-25 years?
bulletDo you want your tubs to be circular, or do you want them to be shaped so that they create a passive pumping action in the water to clean more effectively?
bulletWould you prefer a heavy-duty four strut suspension to prevent the washer from ‘walking’ in the spin cycle?
bulletWould you like to have two re-greasable bearings per shaft, supported on the front and the back of the tubs for greater durability?
bulletDo you want your clothes to last around 30% longer because of using a gentle tumbling action as opposed to using a harmful agitator that can shred your laundry?
bulletWould you like to use around 135 watt-hours of electricity per load to use a Staber, or around 600 watt-hours to use a traditional agitator washer?
bulletDo you want your warranty to be voided if using solar power or not?

Even though it still may be working, just think about the costs of using your current washer—it all adds up! You can now see why a Staber washer makes so much more sense compared to a traditional agitator washer. 

Here is what you need to consider: 

bullet

     Currently you may be spending over $600 annually to operate your washer if you are doing around 8 loads per week.

bullet

     Therefore, if you invest in a Staber washer now, it will provide you a return of around $340 each year for the rest of its life. (This does not include the savings in reducing your drying time, and the time saved in having to possibly do fewer loads.)

bullet

     This gives you close to a 30% return on your investment every year you own it. 

Benefits for Consumers Using Solar Power

The Staber also gives alternative energy users the most efficient washer available for handling their laundry needs. The Staber runs very efficiently, operating on only 110–150 watt-hours of electricity per wash load. It uses about 4-5 amps during the wash cycle, and surges to about 7 amps when the motor starts.

Unlike other washing machine manufacturers, the warranty is not voided when used on a solar power source. This, while using an average of only 15 gallons of water per load make the Staber the most energy efficient washer available and the best choice for consumers living "off-grid."

Solar-Related Advantages of the Staber over Traditional Agitator Washers:

bulletOperates on alternative power sources without voiding warranty
bulletLower operating energy; only uses 110-150 watt-hours of electricity per wash cycle
bulletLess water usage—the System 2000 saves around 25-40 total gallons of water per load (10 gallons of hot)
bulletLess detergent used because of less water; save 75% of your detergent costs
bulletNo transmission means less power used, no big surge when motor starts, and longer life expectancy
bulletWasher will pay for itself due to its 75% savings in your detergent costs and maintenance savings
bulletTotal front access enables consumer to easily maintain and service washer
bulletExtracts more water for less drying time to save more energy
